Planning a wedding: 6 months to go

Following tradition of a one year engagement I would like to give tips and guidelines what you should plan and think about before your wedding. Last blog I gave tips and guidelines what to arrange and think about 8 months before the big day. Now I would like to continue and take a look at what to think about 6 months before your wedding day.

6 months before the big day

Grooms outfit: It is time to search for the perfect outfit for the groom with fitting shoes and assecories. For suit and tuxedo style ideas for your husband-to-be you can take a look at bridals.com for inspiration suiting the latest fashion.

Names: Discuss together what surnameyouwill useafter the wedding.

Notary: Are you planning to get married under a prenuptial agreement? Then make an appointment with the notary.

First dance: Choose one song to which you’d like to dance your first dance as a married couple on. Also practice a few times your first dance. Do you not know how? The it is possible to take a few dance lessons. Most dance schools offer special packages for wedding couples. So check your local dance school for the possibilities!

Bachelor party: Do you want a bachelor party? If yes, indicate your needs and wishes to your ceremony master or maid of honor/ best man.

Accessories: Found your dream dress? Then it is time to look for the perfect accessories. Think of your shoes and if you would like a headpiece and/or veil, bag, gloves, jewelry, shawl and last but not least what kind of lingerie. Remember that the lingery is not only the key for a spicy honeymoon night but also for making your wedding dress fit well and making you feel comfortable for the whole day. For accessories inspiration you can taka a look at bridal.com

Guests: Who do you want to invite? Take a look at your guest list and make the final guest list.

Budget:Make your costs plan up to date. Remember to do this with every big expens you make so you do not go (too much) over budget.

Honeymoon: Continuing on last blogs mentioning of the honeymoon it is time to check your passports. Are they valid at the time you are planning to travel? And do you need vaccinations for the place you are planning to visit. Book your trip under the names of your current valid passport. So not under your new name as this is not your legal name on your passport yet!

Entertainment: Will there be children at the party? Make sure there is entertainment or a wedding nanny to keep them occupied. Also do not forget the adult guests for some nice entertainment! For example: Photo Booth, Fireworks, cocktailshakers

I hope the above guidelines and tips will help you with organizing your perfect wedding. Next blog more tips and guidelines what is next in your adventure of organizing the big day!
